Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a micro positioning device, which is particularly preferable as the micro positioning device of a writing head drive system in a servo track writer for writing the track for a hard disk drive unit.
  • a conventional hard disk drive unit wrote the servo track by using a DC motor for driving a read/write head for the hard disk drive unit itself, because the storage capacity was not relatively very large.
  • the servo track pitch serves as a reference for recording or reproducing the information, it must be made less than a read/write pitch for the hard disk drive unit, and thus at a higher density, there is a tendency that it is difficult to operate with the head disk drive unit internally provided from the viewpoint of positioning accuracy, whereby a special-purpose servo track writer for writing the track during the manufacture is necessary nowadays.
  • a method is generally adopted in which the head internally provided is driven by means of an external drive unit, with an actuator for operating the head pressed against a support member of the head.
  • Fig. 4 Such a constitution of conventional example is shown in Fig. 4.
  • 1 is an encoder motor, of which 1A is an encoder portion and 1B is a motor portion.
  • 2 is a drive disk to be driven by the encoder motor 1
  • 3 is a drive pin.
  • 4 is a hard disk drive unit, in which in a factory, such drive units 4 are conveyed in sequence on a belt conveyor (not shown) to the servo track writer 1-3.
  • 5 is a hard disk within the drive unit 4
  • 6 is a head arm
  • 7 is a linear motor.
  • the track data is written onto the hard disk 5 by means of a head 8 installed at a leading end of the head arm 6, with the drive pin 3 abutted against the head arm 6, while moving circularly the head arm 6 around a fulcrum 10 with the encoder motor 1.
  • the track data is transmitted from a data transmission device 11 located outside of the above members to the head 8.
  • the entity of servo track writer is constituted of the above members 1 to 11, and the hard disk 5 and the linear motor 7 become a hard disk as the product.
  • the servo track writer with the constitution as shown in Fig. 4 has been used along with the higher density of servo track, whereas the hard disk drive unit 4 of Fig. 4 is conveyed on a manufacturing line but not fixed at any time. Accordingly, in such a device that temporarily connects, so to speak, the unstationary member and the stationary member such as the servo track writer 1-3 as shown and performs the positioning at high precision, there was a significant problem to be solved that the high precision in writing the servo track was difficult to maintain stably, due to the instability of connection, if the connecting portion was badly secured.
  • a precision micro positioning device often used a laser interferometer, and had arranged a plurality of expensive optical devices, scanning the laser beam from a gas laser.
  • the laser interferometer method as above mentioned was required to have a large space for the arrangement, because there are disposed a gas laser oscillator, an interferometer, optical devices such as a corner cube, and instruments, over which the laser beam scans. Furthermore, because of the interferometer used, there are some changes in the characteristics due to the temperature variation or fluctuation of air flow, so that it is necessary to be used in a clean room. Owing to the above-described large restriction, that is, the restriction on the space and service environment, a laser interferometer method is consequently very costly.
  • the conventional positioning device generally used a PWM type driver for driving the motor in order to increase the power efficiency.
  • a circuit for controlling the motor an analog loop control circuit was used for the real time processing.
  • Fig. 1 shows a whole constitution in one example of the present invention.
  • the same parts as in the conventional example shown in Fig. 4 have the same reference numerals attached, and its detailed explanation will be omitted.
  • the mechanical arrangement of this example is the same as in the conventional example of Fig. 4, but a particularly different point is that the same feature as that of an electromagnet is attached to a drive pin 3 which is an actuator, and a controller 9 is provided with a feature of controlling the conduction of the current to a coil 3A of the drive pin 3 at a predetermined timing.
  • a signal indicating the predetermined timing is issued when the position deviation for positioning has fallen within a range between two preset values 1 and 2, and serves as an ON signal and an OFF signal of an electromagnet 3 in Fig. 3 as will be described later, respectively, in which at the timing of the ON signal, the conduction is made. With this conduction, the electromagnet 3 and a magnetic material portion of a head arm 6 are electrically bonded.
  • Fig. 2 shows a circuit configuration example of the controller 9 in one example of the present invention as shown in Fig. 1.
  • the command value of movement amount for a motor 1B which moves the drive pin 3 has been preset.
  • this command value has the number of pulses in an encoder 1A as the unit.
  • the movement amount of the motor 1B is always input into the controller 9 as the encoder pulse.
  • the current passing through the motor 1B is controlled by the controller 9 so that the difference between the command value of movement amount as above mentioned and the input value from the encoder 1A, i.e., position deviation, may be zero.
  • the input pulses of the encoder 1A are counted by a counter 20 to be sent to a subtracter 21 as the digital value, and compared and operated with a specified digital value of movement amount in the subtracter 21, in which the difference between them is converted into the analog value in a D/A (digital to analog) converter 22. And this analog value is used as the position deviation as above mentioned.
  • the movement speed of the motor 1B is converted into the analog value by a F/V (frequency to voltage) converter 23 which inputs the encoder pulse, amplified together with the above position deviation by an amplifier 24, and sent to an electric current control unit 27.
  • a F/V (frequency to voltage) converter 23 which inputs the encoder pulse, amplified together with the above position deviation by an amplifier 24, and sent to an electric current control unit 27.
  • the drive current is applied by a ROM 25 which stores the drive current values corresponding to the positions of the encoder 1A and the D/A converter 26, and further a motor drive current feedback 29 is fed back, in which finally the drive current is passed through a power amplifier 28 at the next stage to the motor 1B.
  • Fig. 3 shows an operation pattern for positioning and the ON/OFF timing of the electromagnet 3 in the example of the present invention.
  • a pattern is drawn such that after the motor 1B has been started, the position deviation (difference between target and actual positions) increases, and then decreases in approaching closer to a target position.
  • the deviation of a relatively large value is set as a preset 1 in a first comparator 30 within the controller 9 as shown in Fig. 2, and all values near a position deviation of zero are set as a preset 2 in a second comparator 31, considering that the setting for positioning therein has been almost completed.
  • the electromagnetic coil 3A is turned ON (conduction) based on the preset 1, so as to integrate the head arm 6 and the drive disk 2 via the drive pin 3.
  • the load is increased so that the vibration is suppressed to quicken the setting for positioning.
  • the electromagnet 3 is turned OFF. Therefore, at the next start, the starting is facilitated because of a light load, whereby the positioning can be performed by repeating such an operation that the electromagnet 3 is turned ON as described above if the deviation is large, and then turned OFF after the setting.
  • the back bias can be always applied to a linear motor 7 of Fig. 1, opposed to a movement direction only at the setting for positioning. That is, in this example, the back bias is turned ON in synchronism with the ON timing of the electromagnet 3 to increase the load and quicken the setting, while the back bias is turned OFF in synchronism with the OFF timing of the electromagnet 3 to reduce the load and facilitate the starting.
  • the back bias may be also applied slightly even when the electromagnet 3 is OFF, by using the variable back bias amount, though the second example of the present invention is the ON/OFF control of the back bias. And this example is the same as the second example in that when the electromagnet 3 is ON, the bias amount is increased, while when the electromagnet 3 is OFF, the bias amount is decreased. Note that in the second and third examples, the back bias is transmitted from a data transmission device 11 under the control of the controller 9.
  • the high precision positioning can be performed in a more efficient way, closer to an ideal form, because the positioning is performed in a shorter setting time by positively increasing or decreasing the load in accordance with the positioning operation in such a way as to magnetize temporarily a part of the actuator which comes in contact with a magnetic material portion of object to integrate unstationary object with a device at fixed position.

  • the D/A converter of 16 bit parallel input is used with the above configuration, 48 lines of the data signal conductor are necessary, while with the D/A converter of serial input, three lines of data signal conductor are necessary if the data signal is individually transmitted.
  • the motor driver is often installed a distance away from a CPU board for creating data to be given to the D/A converter, and the signal conductors are desirably as few as possible, while the signal conductor can be met with one line by adopting the configuration of Fig. 6 and supplying the signal in a way as shown in Fig. 7.
  • one three-phase motor driver is shown, but likewise for a plurality of drivers, one data signal conductor may be also used to transmit the serial data containing data corresponding to the channels to be used.

  • a speed command is created in accordance with a predetermined rule of correspondence.
  • the movement amount as shown in Fig. 8 is nonlinearly corresponded to the speed command.
  • the motor drive signal which is made an analog signal by the D/A converter 4 is amplified in power by the linear type motor driver 2 to drive the brushless motor 1a and allow the writing head 7 to perform a predetermined operation.
  • the motor driver 2 is a linear type
  • the noise occurrence is quite little and the linearity in a minute displacement area is maintained, so that a high accurate control is enabled.
  • the writing head 7 has a high impedance, the noise is likely to be generated, whereby the linear type motor driver 2 which causes a quite little noise is necessary.
